Full description
Digital Compass helps you understand your direction and surroundings using the sensors in your phone. Check your heading, switch between magnetic north and true north, view your coordinates, and open your position on a map through a clear compass interface. Whether you are travelling, hiking, checking the orientation of a room, or learning about navigation, Digital Compass provides the essential information without hiding it behind complicated controls. Compass and direction • View your bearing, azimuth, degrees, and cardinal direction. • Switch between magnetic north and true north. • Use localized or standard direction labels. • Monitor compass accuracy and recalibrate when needed. • Check magnetic-field strength for possible nearby interference. Location and map Use your current location to view latitude, longitude, address, and altitude. Open the map to understand your position and surrounding area while keeping access to essential compass information. True-north calculations use your location to account for magnetic declination. Location accuracy and availability depend on your device, permissions, and surrounding conditions. Additional tools • Qibla direction – Enable an optional marker showing the direction of the Kaaba based on your current location. • Slope and level – Check the tilt of your device and measure slope angles. • AR compass – Display compass information over the camera preview. • Flashlight – Use your device light in dark surroundings. • Custom settings – Adjust compass behavior, direction labels, and display options. Useful for everyday activities This free Compass app can help with hiking, camping, travel, outdoor navigation, checking room orientation, locating true north, reading GPS coordinates, and learning how bearings and Earth’s magnetic field work. It can also provide useful directional guidance for Qibla, home orientation, educational activities, and situations where a simple heading or location reference is needed. Tips for better compass accuracy Phone compasses are affected by nearby magnetic fields. Keep your device away from magnets, magnetic phone cases, metal objects, batteries, speakers, and electronic equipment while taking a reading. If the accuracy indicator becomes low, move away from possible interference and follow the in-app calibration guidance. Holding the device level can also improve the stability of the displayed direction. Device requirements Compass readings require a magnetometer and accelerometer. Devices without the required sensors cannot provide a reliable heading. Location-based features require location permission and may be affected by GPS availability. This smart Compass is designed to provide a practical combination of compass heading, true north, GPS coordinates, altitude, maps, magnetic-field information, and optional direction tools in one app.
